How low will avis go?

[currylager]

As some of you will know i am in the process of trying to fit some avis adjusters to my front beam. The garage is a tip and there is grease everywhere, i have managed to drill out the crimps which hold the torsion leave mounting rings in place but after much hammering, greasing etc it is extremely difficult to move the rings, so i want to get the adjusters right first time if possible :roll: . My van is a 68 and has always been exceptionally high up and i reckon i need around 3.5 inches drop to make it look respectable with some radars on. I am not after weedeater status, So what would be a good guess on what to set the adjusters to?. All advice appreciated.

normally around four inches, i always put them on a little lower as some bays are really "tall" so if you move it round say an inch you should have a beam that goes from 2 inches below stock to 6 inches below.
good luck :wink:

Thanks guys i can stop sulking now :lol: , my bus is really high so it sounds like i'll go for the lowest setting possible or almost that :wink: . I really feel like i just havent got time to go to work!! :twisted: , i've got far more important things to do with my toys, surely i cant be the only one who feels like this? :roll:

Only thing is when you turn the adjusters round to go lower, the locking nuts end up behind the centre pin, which can make tightening and loosing them awkward.

3 weeks of swearing and lying on my back, but it was definatly worth it. Shame the front isn't as easy to lower as the back :wink: . The front beam is surprisingly easy to remove it's just the fiddly things like trying to feed the torsion leaves back in and put the torsion arms back on. Mine were slightly out of allignment, so the only way to get the arms to fit on was to clamp the leaves together and tack weld them so they stick in the right position and grind the excess back. good character building stuff :wink:
